[celest raft]

Tarkov makes me do homework to get good

Im not doing homework to play a game

[green gazelle]

It’s not really that bad the wiggle that killed tarkov was highly overplayed

[torpid plover]

Yea

[dawn shoal]

true

[celest raft]

why can't extraction shooters just be good bro

[sonic iron]

face eyes while I'm looking at a wall

[south geode]

Arc raiders.

[bright forge]

They need heavy team communication.

[torpid plover]

They can though, it's just there's not that many of them

[viscid plinth]

You just neeed to know how to shoot tbh, there are in game maps and QoL things theyve changed but ultimately I agree

[green gazelle]

Money same as everything else if your players are content their not spending money

[river storm]

i wonder how NuCaloric food tastes

[celest raft]

Hunt was good for a while

[green gazelle]

Probably like Taco Bell

[torpid plover]

Like McDonald's we've heard that one before already

[celest raft]

don't wanna have to learn every extract on every map and memorize what bullet does what to what plates

[river storm]

it probably tastes like if an 80 year old sat on astronaut food ngl.

[sonic iron]

Good ol jollibees

[river storm]

oh. you’re right — we did.
i just can’t imagine it tasting good.

[celest raft]

don't want to leave other tabs open or a second monitor up

the game runs like shit

[viscid plinth]

You really don't need that tbh

[south geode]

Haven't played, honestly every other dev team looks silly to me now 😭

[green gazelle]

Nah bro Taco Bell is all plant matter at this point anyways it’s the closest representation

[dawn shoal]

tastes like burger, but not burger

[celest raft]

Unityslop

[viscid plinth]

You do not need to think about that, unload a mag of any ammo at anyones head and they'll die fairly easily

[river storm]

so it tastes like calories.

[torpid plover]

Nothingburger

[surreal sierra]

Wow

[green gazelle]

Well Numetal wasn’t metal so Nucaloric is the limp biscuit or foods

[river storm]

mmmm NuCaloric alcohol.

[celest raft]

what if I wanna be a solo tho

[torpid plover]

Wouldn't work with leg meta ammo

[green gazelle]

Taste like chocolate starfish

[vocal frost]

Arc raiders clears

[celest raft]

💔

[urban topaz]

its sad I could not get this game

[south geode]

Solo was more fun that teamed up for me

[celest raft]

that is

not true

ive seen people tank literally dozens upon dozens of rounds in this game straight to the head

[green gazelle]

And hotdog flavored wataaaa

[dawn shoal]

:(

[bright forge]

Then you don’t want to have fun; some games needs teamwork

[river storm]

kurt cobain pov

[viscid plinth]

I have killed several bosses with the lowest tear ammo in most assalt rifles in the head lmao, most bosses dont wear helmuts

[celest raft]

why do solo players not wanna have fun

[green gazelle]

Can you confirm limp biscuit made nucaloric

[bright forge]

It’s like trying to play overwatch solo

[sonic iron]

Do they wear helmets

[celest raft]

you can do that

[dawn shoal]

we made u

[river storm]

does NuCaloric make actual limp biscuits.

[celest raft]

Overwatch just sucks in general dawg

[dawn shoal]

im a limp biscuit

[green gazelle]

Well I was raised on Limp Biscuit

[viscid plinth]

No, thats my point, generally 1 round to the face w/any ammo most players are dying, just aim

[fiery root]

nah like playing overwatch solo with no teamates, 1v5

[torpid plover]

Tbh there's not much to think about, you just look on armor pen and compare it to the armor class, so 10 pen would have a high chance to pen lvl 1, 20 pen = lvl 2 and so on

[river storm]

stiffen up buddy.

[celest raft]

Overwatch is ass

[bright forge]

It does but the concept that you have more fun when working in a team

[dawn shoal]

you are a nucaloric sleeper agent, wake up agent taco

[south geode]

Get gud at game, win 1 v 3 situation. Biggest dopamine rush of ur life

[green gazelle]

Y’all really don’t know Fred durst here this is so sad

[dawn shoal]

have a happy fred durst friday

[fiery root]

u play void dont you

[river storm]

i know fred durst you fraud

[sonic iron]

I don't like Fred durst

[south geode]

I play arc raiders.

[celest raft]

I just prefer games that are balanced around being solo viable, Tarkov CAN work as a solo but you have to be built different straight up

Arc seems to work well both ways, Hunt ddoes too

[viscid plinth]

most people in tarkov play solo, and working in groups is exceptionally harder

[fiery root]

rip so do i, but i like marathon as well just not for solo play

[river storm]

when will you change your name to just balls.

[celest raft]

really? I feel like its the opposite

[bright forge]

Hunt sucks solo; it’s miserable compared to duos or trios

[celest raft]

I was playing as a solo and doing alright for a long time before 1896 at least

[south geode]

Tell me one I haven't heard

[torpid plover]

Arc doesn't really seem that viable as a solo, Tarkov is much more suitable for the solo gaming

[dawn shoal]

I love playing with friends and blacking out their arms by accident

[viscid plinth]

You able to quardinate with 3 other people, remembering what they look like alone, not shooting your friend? Yeah that shits hard

[sonic iron]

Hunt sucks solo when you dunno what youre doing

[river storm]

that’s so unfortunate man — i actually thought i had you.

[celest raft]

yeah you make a good point, more noticeable too

[south geode]

I haven't got a chance to try it. But if it comes out at the same time or after arc it prob won't do well

[sonic iron]

How do you expect me to keep my character to raven bosses I've never seen then getting the PACKAGE

[viscid plinth]

my friend and I black eachothers legs before we extract, its like a lil smooch lmao

[celest raft]

it was going alright for me but idk

[river storm]

heh getting the package

[dawn shoal]

one time I accidentally emptied my m60 mag into my friend while he was crouched on labs 💀

bro was not pleased

[viscid plinth]

this is why bungo's 3 party requirement folds so hard on solos, Quardination between players should be hard, but Marathon conserns me a lot because there is no solo aspect

[celest raft]

I think if you play as a solo in Arc you can't chad up, you need to just play it like Metal Gear lmao

[torpid plover]

Arc has a solo queue, we're talking about 1v3 environment

[celest raft]

yeah thats true

[viscid plinth]

Ive been there, the moment where you're lkike "OMG GOT ONE" followed by the "IM DWEAD???"

[sonic iron]

I saw a dude get caught on fire in hunt, run outside a building and get blown up cause he walked by an explosive barrel

[celest raft]

its a straight up spaghetti western sometimes and the Hunter dying groan always makes me laugh lowkey

[forest canyon]

the finals more fun than this game ngl

[vocal frost]

Arc raiders clears

[coarse pulsar]

GTA delayed now we have to play this stinker of a game for fall 🥀

[viscid plinth]

The solo que does not exist if you're infil'ing with 2 randoms. I have yet to see a solo run unless I am just blind

[celest raft]

its like a stock sound effect its the same every time its funny as hell

[dawn shoal]

I thought he was a raider 😭 labs has me actually schizo

[river storm]

how did the finals come up

[celest raft]

AHHHH, OOUGHH 😵

[torpid plover]

Don't use auto fill

[forest canyon]

with me inserting myself into chat

[bright forge]

Bro having a convo with himself

[river storm]

i mean — you’re not wrong but those are completely diff genres. odd to put em into comparison.

[sonic iron]

Yeah, turn off auto fill and EVERY lobby I was in was solo queue

[forest canyon]

real my lobotomy was yesterday

[crisp umbra]

escape will make me..

[torpid plover]

Yep, same here

[vocal frost]

Arc raiders clears

[celest raft]

escape will make me boypregnant

[viscid plinth]

Does that actually work? Why have I yet to see a solo que video..? Again I am probably not paying attention but

[river storm]

escape will bring me femboys ‼️

[mystic yacht]

when does the alpha end?

[silver gust]

gas

[bright forge]

Today at 7

[celest raft]

dawg youre so late

[celest raft]

bro is NOT playing that closed alpha

[mystic yacht]

nah ive played

[celest raft]

ah

[river storm]

might get a cheeky run or two in

[torpid plover]

I mean, I've played the solo queue, not sure about the videos, maybe not enough content? Like you can't squad up with your streamer friends and if they get knocked 1v3 the other team or something

Just looking at it from the content creator perspective

[green gazelle]

It's just one of those days when you don't wanna wake up
Everything is fd , everybody sucks
You don't really know why
But you wanna justify rippin' someone's head off

[river storm]

my head volunteers, i think.

[twin kelp]

hey all just joined wondering how do I get access to the alpha?

[celest raft]

you don't now

[dawn shoal]

wait for the open beta lol

[green gazelle]

It's all about the he says, she says bullshit
I think you better quit lettin' shit slip
Or you'll be leavin' with a fat lip
It's all about the he says, she says bullshit

[torpid plover]

Although I've seen 1 video of a guy 1v6 solo lobby with an anvil when they took on the Queen

[celest raft]

im still waiting after a few days

[twin kelp]

if I did I wouldn’t ask lmao

[celest raft]

no I mean you can't get in at this point in time

[twin kelp]

oh ok cool

[celest raft]

there was an alpha access channel, its gone

they're not handing out many invites it seems

[green gazelle]

My Early 2000s music ball knowledge is unmatched who else had a alcoholic father who drank beer and listened to metal until 2am

[celest raft]

there will probably be an open beta

[twin kelp]

aah ok well then i’ll wait for the beta then cheers m8s

[ancient iris]

https://www.snapchat.com/add/myai?share_id=zBgCe68Dd6w&locale=en-US

[celest raft]

play Arc Raiders

[torpid plover]

Time to play some Tarkov Arena, while waiting for Arc Raiders to drop

[celest raft]

im playing the Arena Breakout Infinite elimination mode lol, basically the same thing

[bright forge]

JFC yall are annoying with the arc raiders bit; go hop in that discord

[celest raft]

read only

[bright forge]

Good

[south geode]

Why put ur self through that torture

[torpid plover]

The issue with Arena Breakout Inifinite for me is how bad it's made compared to Tarkov

[celest raft]

tech test 2 just finished so they're cleaning it up and evaluating feedback

[green gazelle]

Any Mad Season enjoyers

[south geode]

Just came here to convert the non believers

[celest raft]

also I like that it has inertia and no bs rpg stuff

[torpid plover]

I'm not sure about optimization cause I run both games at 144 fps

[celest raft]

my rig is lower end but it runs ABI just fine, Tarkov eats shit on it

[bright forge]

This isn’t a religion. If you don’t like the game, use a different server.

[celest raft]

80+ frames in ABI, 50 or lower in Tarkov a lot of times

[torpid plover]

That's unfortunate

[green gazelle]

Can someone link me the free Ram download im running out of memory

[celest raft]

Unity spaghetti code moment

[torpid plover]

Memory is kinda cheap though

[south geode]

I don't have an opinion on marathon because I was too busy playing arc raiders

[green gazelle]

You don’t know what I’m talking about 😭

[urban topaz]

I am streaming a new game guys

[torpid plover]

I do, you're making a joke

[urban topaz]

who would mind giving me a follow

[green gazelle]

You never googled how to get more ram as a kid and it shows

[south geode]

Whats ur twitch?

[bright forge]

So you found an entirely different game’s server, joined it, and started doing cartwheels on it for a different game? Why?

[torpid plover]

I didn't, but I already knew about PCs enough, by the time I had access to google

[celest raft]

its a little hard to form an opinion on Marathon if nobody gets in to play it

[green gazelle]

Their was so many malware downloads for free ram lmao

[celest raft]

and comparisons to Arc are inevitable, they're competitors

[bright forge]

True! They should of handed out more invites

[bright forge]

There are comparisons and then there is meat riding

[celest raft]

invite codes specifically, for their trio game, that is also region locked atm

[last blade]

Why do people get so triggered by people talking about another game.. is marathon the only game you all like

[green gazelle]

You’re under 25 aren’t you

[urban topaz]

who wants to play this new game with me

[torpid plover]

I am

[celest raft]

at this point I feel like people just call meat riding talking about the game they like less than the other

[green gazelle]

You just had to be there man

[south geode]

Saw this game, looked interesting. Realized the alpha was closed and decided to tell yall how awesome ARC RAIDERS is

[celest raft]

Arc isn't perfect but its a good game

[bright forge]

Look at what @south geode is doing and tell me that isn’t meat riding

[celest raft]

oh idk about him

[green gazelle]

Teamspeak making a return lowk has me foaming out the mouth to be able to say some heinous shit

[south geode]

Oh I'm 100% glazing. But that's just my opinion I think it's game of the year

[celest raft]

game of the year is a little steep even though I think it will succeed for sure

[torpid plover]

What's your opinion on Expedition 33?

[languid whale]

Last time Bungie did a theme in an expansion like Lightfall they completely missed on all narrative components. To hear that renegades is Star Wars themed makes me so afraid.

[green gazelle]

It’s ok dog I’m sure the winnower won’t be darth sideous at all

[south geode]

Not really into that style of rpg but it's fun to watch. Looks sick

[magic rose]

Arc is crazy fun. Looking forward to it.

[leaden carbon]

when does the alpha end today, or did it already?

[bright forge]

Today at 7

[languid whale]

This what time talking about, they get so focused on being Star Wars or 80s themed that the Vale one of the biggest mystery’s is just thrown away

[celest raft]

im just really impressed by how well optimized it is for UE5 still

[leaden carbon]

okay i'm sending the purple loot lol

[torpid plover]

I'm decent at the game and I have nothing better to do

[languid whale]

And one of the biggest boss fights is useless

[green gazelle]

It was made for select individuals who wore tshirts of tigers with vibrant art to high school

[magic rose]

For real. I need to upgrade my pc still but even on older hardware it didn't run terribly.

[green gazelle]

Vale’s been gone

[languid whale]

Wolf made of colored smoke

[south geode]

Fair that's my relationship with rocket league

[green gazelle]

Cackling over here

[candid talon]

You know what would be cool? And would promote team work? If at a computer console to unlock something you had to actually type simple commands making kinda like the game GTFO or lethal company. Plus it'd make you feel like "woaah hackerman" or at least a directional button input at one of stations where you bring out the smart-phone like device to activate it

[celest raft]

who get older and get a receding hairline and painted van with a vignette of wolves in a solar system or some shit

[languid whale]

They all had a stench

[green gazelle]

With a smell that could make the east jealous

[green gazelle]

Yeah cat piss

Bro

Uncalled for

[candid talon]

Gamer word?

[languid whale]

Anyway R.I.P renegades. Sad to see them lose sight of destiny again, the lady talks about how this expansion will be destiny incarnate. A chocolate peanut butter concoction of pure destiny gameplay, then they very obviously use Star Wars tropes and the whole expansion fell out of the window

[mental mango]

wait

[green gazelle]

Also who names their dlc after a imagine dragons song and a jeep

Guarantee you bungie has millennial writers that thought it was funny

[long pebble]

so like... me and my buddy want alpha access, besides the insurctions, is there anything else we can do?

[south geode]

Nope

[candid talon]

Lmao

[hallow pelican]

Hiii

[long pebble]

damn lol

[candid talon]

You can wait til release thats what you can do

[hallow pelican]

Any close beta for Ps5?

[green gazelle]

Guys the n word is still there

[south geode]

Nope

[green gazelle]

The mods have abandoned us

[hallow pelican]

Ty

[candid talon]

Lmao rip

[languid whale]

So sad to see, I understand they want to have fun and give use fun stuff, but Fortnite got a collaboration that people still wear on their characters today that isn’t intrusive in our universe, 80s themes is one thing because then you can atleast show the world building and still flesh out lore. But no, we’re playing LEGO ster wars ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure Bungie is having a blast ignoring the narrative for that dlc to feed their Star Wars craving

[green gazelle]

Destiny and starwars don’t even fit together that’s like putting marinara on cereal

[storm cosmos]

Mm, the crossover IP thing isn't an angle I really care for since part of what makes destiny 2 so compelling is the story and world, so having it become like, more generic sci-fi that can accommodate Star wars just feels a bit weird

[willow violet]

@flint delta ay man do something

[languid whale]

Im sure everyone who got the boot during the layoffs were the ones questioning the Star Wars idea

[south geode]

That's a new one, what if it's good?

[green gazelle]

Absolutely

[flat fulcrum]

Tell that to Bungies bank account

[green gazelle]

PlayStation really thought a Star Wars mashup would save their cash cow

[candid talon]

@flint delta you're the first one i saw sorry but might wanna take care of this

[willow violet]

deadass mentioned the same guy lol

[teal flint]

React to that message with the boot emoji to get it seen by mods.

[south geode]

Don't give it any attention

[teal flint]

Stop replying to it.

[willow violet]

I'd rather it ger deleted

[last blade]

just react with 👢 and it auto reports

[languid whale]

That’s true, regardless they are a business and do have to make money. I don’t think anyone is walking around bothered by the Fortnite items in game. But to that point it isn’t a direct bridge it’s cosmetics. And this is just a very sad thing to see. That with all the lore that they’ve built and fleshed out that they have to rely on another IP for inspiration and ideas? It’s pathetic really, no matter how good edge of fate could be, renegades could be the end of destiny, mark my words.

[willow violet]

ngl that's a stupid ass report system

[quaint heath]

6 hr slowmode pls

[green gazelle]

It only works if you shill a couple times before you report

[teal flint]

Better than replying to the message and having to see it over and over again lol.

[languid whale]

If we get another lightfall we done for, and they wanna make Star Wars

[quaint heath]

lightfall was peak hello?

[languid whale]

When did you start playing man

[willow violet]

only one of these is intuitive to a random person who wants to do right.

[slow gyro]

Where is the maintenance canal? Got a superior key

[languid whale]

Witch queen?

[green gazelle]

You did not just say Neptune bros was peak

[storm cosmos]

I dunno if I'd go that far

[velvet monolith]

😤😤

[languid whale]

Like he had to be a witch queen starting player

[south geode]

Check the canal

[quaint heath]

since release

[green gazelle]

Lightfall was crazy bad and strand was broken

[quaint heath]

Strand was amazing

[magic solstice]

Holy shit it’s a new record. First time I’ve logged on in a week and no one is talking about Arc Raiders

[green gazelle]

Go up 5 messages

[storm cosmos]

Strand WAS dope as hell

[spare nexus]

is the fourth contract for nucaloric the last one in the alpha?

[green gazelle]

I’m reporting anyone who like strand

[spare nexus]

i.e. does this mean that even if i rank up i won't get anymore in the alpha

[magic solstice]

I only see destiny

[quaint heath]

Neptune was a great experience idk, besides the NPCs

[green gazelle]

Arc better

[south geode]

Arc raiders > marathon 😁

[wanton hollow]

Facts

[green gazelle]

He did it to himself lmao

[magic solstice]

Oh no what have I done

[slow gyro]

I’m going insane trying to find maintenance canal locked door AHHHHH

[vocal frost]

Arc raiders clears

[green gazelle]

Arc bro arc

[last blade]

but yet its still rent free in your head

[magic solstice]

I actually love arc raiders

[green gazelle]

It’s always ark is peak but never hey arc how the peak

[languid whale]

And you seriously believe that lightfall was peak? Lowest player numbers ever? Biggest content droughts, weakest story components, horrible season system they are going back on. And that is all outside of the fact that the expansion itself was more focused on being 80s than destiny. They missed out on so many opportunities to give answers that were valuable to ageless questions and threw them away, again because they wanted to do 80s. This was at a critical point in destiny in where we needed a hit, and they decided the sensationalism of having a 80s expansion was worth more than finalizing notes in the second to last expansion of the first saga. Additionally we don’t kill the big bad in the raid, we kill him in a 12 player event inspired by a glitch from a prior expansion for no reason other than more gameplay. Lightfall was a true low for destiny and I hope the devs never go back to the way it was because it was truly “ruin gameplay for the sake of appeal” strand may be fun, but the expansion itself is a blight on destiny

[torpid plover]

We discussed it 3 times already on separate occasions just today

[magic solstice]

Yeah I’m not reading all that

[quaint heath]

i am NOT reading any of this

[last blade]

why would I read this

[south geode]

Ain't no one reading ur novel 🤣

[green gazelle]

Is that borderlands 4

[torpid plover]

I have no interest in Destiny, so ain't reading

[winter tulip]

i read it

[south geode]

Wait are we all just rage baiting?

[languid plume]

hi Baggas

[torpid plover]

Always have been

[quaint heath]

Welcome to Marathon discord

[magic solstice]

Arc>Borderlands>Destiny DLC>Marathon

[green gazelle]

I don’t know who were baiting but yes

[languid whale]

I only typed it for intellectuals who can have thoughts deeper than twitter threads

[magic solstice]

Yes

[vocal moss]

Also glazing Arc Raiders constantly

[south geode]

Whats a tweeter?

[quaint heath]

Marathon>Gta 6

[winter tulip]

peoples brains are so rotted they think a paragraph is too much to read lmao

[topaz comet]

you know damm well what it is

[magic solstice]

GTA6 screenshots>marathon

[green gazelle]

Ngl lie guys Curse of Osiris with the “infinite” garden was the best d2 xpac

[languid whale]

I’m only preaching there, it’s the truth, lightfall completely ignored story to be an 80s expansion and the only thing they delivered on was a new super

[topaz comet]

GTA 6 fatass latina and a guy from baywatch

[languid whale]

Yeah people see 3-4 sentences and clap out

[quaint heath]

you wouldn't know peak if it kissed you on the lips, shut up chudzilla

[green gazelle]

Apex?

[languid whale]

It’s too much for their attention span

[quaint heath]

overwatch better

[topaz comet]

Sims 4

[storm cosmos]

I mean I think lightfalls main problem was it got shuffled in front of final shape in release order, and as a result it felt insanely weird to go off to a completely new undiscovered human settlement instead of chasing after the witness and the run on effects from that

[green gazelle]

Ahh the marathon sims xpac nice

[vocal moss]

Can anyone speak to Marathon’s controller gameplay?
I know Arc Raiders struggled a bit with inventory stuff, and Delta Force has basically given up

[south geode]

Nah just saw the all bold and was like nah

[green gazelle]

Curse of Osiris and warmind was peak GTFO

[leaden vale]

...So... When alpha closes? XD Thought it be closed already

[languid whale]

So again, they ignored all story components and only delivered on building a world that looks 80s inspired and a subclass

[clear moth]

overwatch has been garbage for 5+ years

[south geode]

Tru

[languid whale]

Word I didn’t know white text was too much for ppl my b

[green gazelle]

In the big 25 guys not cool

[quaint heath]

Strand was the best thing since Forsaken

[south geode]

I accept ur apology now beg for attention like a good boy

[green gazelle]

You take that back right now

[quaint heath]

ill die on this hill

[bronze osprey]

what do the destiny players in here think about the star wars expansion 😭

[quaint heath]

i stopped playing d2 but it looks good

[leaden vale]

Loved Stasis back when Red War was current, Shatterskating off the Almighty <_<

[green gazelle]

I will do what I must Bear witness to your creation God

[spare nexus]

i think im more excited for marathon now than the new d2 content lol

[languid whale]

Nah I’m good man, ima do my own thing. Enjoy being over stimulated by white text🧍‍♂️

[idle shadow]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[quaint heath]

time machine

[spare nexus]

time machine

[south geode]

Wishlist arc raiders

[storm cosmos]

Not particularly excited

[clear tendon]

Looks like Alpha test opportunities are over

[timid moon]

you’re not wrong LightFall really was just new supers and an 80’s colorful dlc lmao

[torpid plover]

Still can't play the Alpha

[quaint heath]

Bungie needs to ban the words arc and raiders

[leaden vale]

Also, this marks an entire alpha test duo week, where I've yet to get the role here on Discord lol

[bronze osprey]

it caught me so off guard. I was expecting "destiny 3" in the sense of changing core gameplay mechanics or just how the game plays in general. but I guess nope just star wars

[quaint heath]

wheres the issue

[torpid plover]

Bungie needs to ban Marathon

[severe talon]

https://tenor.com/view/trina-tuesday-st-trina-trina-elden-ring-miquella-gif-9188684546672931172

[tacit glade]

Bungie needs to put deez nuts on yo chin

[languid whale]

And sadly in one of the last and most important expansions in destiny when the player counts were the lowest they didn’t deliver on any narrative components and then somehow player counts dropped lower

[jagged rivet]

what in the fever dream? didn't red war get vaulted when beyond light dropped????

[severe talon]

happy trina tuesday

[torpid plover]

Embed failed

[south geode]

Bungie needs to release marathon so they can cash out before all the players go to arc raiders

[leaden vale]

Read the replied message XD

[green gazelle]

I’m genuinely hurt bro thinks lightfall was peak

[severe talon]

why did it fail? it's just a tenor link

[torpid plover]

No embed perms, that's why

[quaint heath]

Is this really such a controversial opinion

[green gazelle]

It’s going to live rent free for a while

[tacit glade]

i dont play destiny 2 but yeah i think it is

[jagged rivet]

yes...lightfall was mid

[leaden vale]

I honestly must agree on Lightfall sucking... sorry

[severe talon]

sorry just testing. so i have image perms. but no tenor perms. weird

[storm cosmos]

I definitely wasn't expecting something that crazy since I figured a lot of dev power that would go to a "destiny 3" is being used to develop marathon, and I think edge of fate is probably gonna be good? The Star wars thing def feels a bit out of left field though

[torpid plover]

@severe talon We have image perms, just no embeds

[green gazelle]

Get the keyboard it works for me

[leaden vale]

Sure, Strand was fun and all, but the actual story and experience, along with campaign and content in general plain suuuuuucked

[quaint heath]

The right opinion is surely a lonely one

[languid whale]

I’m not some people eat enjoy trash, I just don’t believe he is an Og I completely understand someone who started around with queen or even as far back as season of arrivals, thinks that lightfall is peak destiny

[severe talon]

ah, no embed. i see. thx

[languid whale]

Lightfall didn’t only suck it sucked when we needed it to be good

[green gazelle]

He’s an OG I believe him just a weird one

[quaint heath]

peakfall

[gloomy osprey]

get a load of this guy

[worldly locust]

jokes on you i started out before shadowkeep existed

[leaden vale]

Yo, Late Year 1 player and self proclaimed Forsaken PvP champ here... Even Red War and Year 1 was superior to Lightfall lol

[severe talon]

og maraton's twist ending is peak

[languid whale]

And now we get lightfall 2.0 in terms of focusing on a world building theme and this time it’s from an actual fleshed out IP that isn’t destiny. Sad to see the world blending outside of cosmetics

[sick anchor]

🫃

[quaint heath]

last word and beloved meta was peak PvP

[languid whale]

I would rather go back to lazer tag weak and the mars expansion that I can’t remember the name of then go through lightfall again

[jagged rivet]

dunno about this one, but lightfall coming off of witchqueen was BRUTAL

[green gazelle]

Nah Mida mini and Multi were peak

Or outbreak on d1

[leaden vale]

I was a mad lad, I ran Widow's Bite/Alone as a God and Luna's Howl/Midnight Coup because I just loved those guns

[quaint heath]

lunas howl my babygirl oh how i miss her

[leaden vale]

Last Word was fun though back when you had no penalties for ADSing basically

[languid whale]

Destiny during seasons of arrivals PEAK CONTENT DROUGHT was giving us more story components than the whole expansion of lightfall, we had seasonal artifacts and narrative missions that were fleshed out and finally in front of the players

[quaint heath]

recluse meta 💔

[leaden vale]

I ended Forsaken with Recluse and Revoker <_<

[jaunty inlet]

I MISS MARATHON

[severe talon]

are most of you guys destiny fans? itried to get into destiny 2, and just as i was reaching endgame, they moved everything i was working on into "the vault" totally killed my drive to play

[compact urchin]

when is the servers live

[languid whale]

Do you remember the lightfall meta?

[sharp stone]

Claws of the wolf op 💔

[leaden vale]

Opulence was great

[jagged rivet]

that is a shame

[storm cosmos]

I could never quite get the hang of Last Word, I did better with like, Rose

[leaden vale]

...I honestly don't hahaha

[leaden vale]

The original Rose from the Lumina questline was INSANE honestly

[jaunty inlet]

CAN WE GET ALPHA BUILD 2??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? LOL

[green gazelle]

“First time raider lfm kwtd or be kicked”
This was peak destiny

[severe talon]

yeah.. i really liked it. it was like mid 2020 that i started. and then when they finally got released from blizzard and moved over to steam, they vaulted everything

oh well

[languid whale]

Again, this is considered one of Bungie biggest times in terms of no expansions and content and yet people enjoyed it MEMORABLY more than the lightfall expansion as a whole, how do paid seasonal missions 1 a week combined with a 3 player missions per season Deliver more than a whole expansion in lightfall

[quaint heath]

yes it was good

[velvet glade]

Bungie can you honestly let me in the Marathon alpha? You’re so epic, Bungie. Your games always blow my mind, you always make me hyped. You literally make me want to grind harder to be a better gamer... I really cherish every moment I spend in your worlds. I wanna be your tester. My time has no value unless it’s spent playing in your worlds. I tell all my IRL friends how legendary you are. Thank you for being you. Whenever you need a tester for anything, know that I’ll always be right here, ready to pick up a controller. I’m so stoked. I don’t think you realize how much this alpha means to fans sometimes. Gaming isn’t as fun without a chance to try it early. Your extraction shooter vibe is straight-up fire. I want to be a runner in your closed alpha. The way you craft gameplay, your mechanics are insane. If I had a star for every time I dreamed of playing Marathon, I could light up the whole galaxy. You guys are honestly creative geniuses. Please, let me in the alpha.

[quaint heath]

this has always and will always be destiny wym

[last blade]

bungie is not reading all of that

[timid moon]

had over a 500 hours on D1; Taken King was peak. D2 had good dlc’s but idk if it was just me trying new games or what. Bungie just couldn’t keep my interest as much as before.

[leaden vale]

3 reasons why Opulence succeeded, but Lightfall failed

• Opulence had the Menagerie and the testing grounds... Nuff said
• Opulence had target farming for guns that actually was worth a damn, nuff said again
• Opulence as story content was amazing with the Crown of Sorrow to top it all off, while Lightfall sucked with Calus re-gilded and Nezarek feeling like a letdown... Final nuff said

[green gazelle]

It’s truly peak

[quaint heath]

matador 💗💗💗💗

[green gazelle]

I have like 2 of the shaders from red war and show them off all the time

[languid whale]

LMAOOOO when they dumpstered the running meta and forgot what made crucible semi competitive at a high level so once the meta was smashed they tried to add a new one and it ended out making the pvp players that were somewhat hanging on give up on things like trials 1-2 months into an expansion. It was pathetic because they continued to ignore pvp in one of the biggest moments destiny creators were begging for PvP attention, love you

[quaint heath]

Opulence has to be some of my favorite Destiny content of all time

[storm cosmos]

LOVED the feel of it, think I've still got it from before sunsetting

[quaint heath]

not reading this either sorry

[green gazelle]

Who remember titans with lord of wolves that was the real Saigon

[leaden vale]

You can pull it from collections if you still got the original one from the quest <_<

[south geode]

Tell me how does marathon remotely compare to this?

[severe talon]

oppulence was the last season before the old content got vaulted, right? i loved that one

[leaden vale]

Problem is they adjusted the gun for the rerelease as a Comp reward, so it doesn't quite feel as legendary as it once was

[green gazelle]

Ok I love hating on marathon but can we all agree they are both mid games and we’re being screwed

[leaden vale]

Opulence was the last season before Shadowkeep actually

[severe talon]

ooooh

[leaden vale]

Unless I'm misremembering

[storm cosmos]

Oh yeah def, I just haven't been playing toooo much and it's perks aren't too synergistic with my builds, but I do still use it occasionally!

[south geode]

Not at all, arc is a masterpiece

[severe talon]

i think you're right. that sounds right.

[green gazelle]

It is and isn’t like I’m not going to lie and say it’s bad but it definitely still needs worked on

[spare sage]

I’m end up getting killed by the environment more than actual players … lol

[jagged rivet]

ya i moved to steam as soon as possible like late 2019, but i had already completed everything that got vaulted long before it did. it has done irreparable damage and is still looked back on as one of the games biggest blunders. i still see it mentioned to this day by people who never played that destiny is the game that took away DLC and weapons

[green gazelle]

Arcs biggest mistake was no Unstuck button

[lament cave]

The music is in the game is epic

[languid whale]

Yeah so again I wanna chat this out for you

$10 a season:

-Peak weapon chase as well as heat metas and devs giving us what we were looking for in terms of weapons and perks

-1 mission, just one a week, that lead a narrative that was fully in game and in front of the players that the devs focused on showing us in the tower and world, such as the peak fallen events.

-1 seasonal mission that would drop an exotic that not only was included in the metas at the time but had different perk roles and made the missions that not only were fun and unique mini dungeons replayable but actually worth playing

$60 expansion

-80s world

-new super

-ignored destiny story in second to last expansion of the saga, it’s like George RR Martin has his hands in destiny

[severe talon]

right? i wish so much they would've just added onto that content, rather than making it invisible

[south geode]

As it was intended 😉

[serene tapir]

Did Marathon alpha end?

[jagged rivet]

yup. even with the justification of bloat and taking too many resources to rebalance with each patch, there has to have been a better option.

[south geode]

Yes it needs work but even in it's current state it's AAA

[green gazelle]

The police department just called me back they want to hire me………

[languid whale]

Nine

[leaden vale]

Year 2 had Outlaws for Gambit and Reckoning, Black Armory... Nuff said, and Opulence, with the peak Shadows of Calus quests. Shadowkeep had boring ass Vex invasion season I forgot the name of and the Moon, Peak Season of Dawn that brought us back Saint-XIV, and the amazing Season of Arrivals

[severe talon]

yep. they could've easily made certain sections of the game optional installs. if you already played all the legacy content, just uninstall all the map texturest, etc

[south geode]

I added the music for this video but the soundtrack is epic af

[green gazelle]

I might do it honestly being a guard sucks

[languid plume]

looks like beta dropping soon

[languid whale]

Ngl season of arrivals was so peak

[jagged rivet]

i love spreading misinformation

[languid whale]

AR meta and Lorentz driver

[magic rose]

propoganda

[green gazelle]

Randal’s throwing knife

[languid whale]

I loved trials 7.0 KD for a min

[leaden vale]

Calamity Protocol <_<

[green gazelle]

You could never

[languid whale]

And peak stasis, I was a fellwinters shatterdive hunter so unapologetically, somehow beyond light is a heat expansion

[leaden vale]

Too bad No Hesitation trumped it all the time if you had it from Scourge of the Past

[green gazelle]

I’ve been a titan main since d1

[languid whale]

Beyond light lowk peak destiny

[green gazelle]

Arc runner or risk runner was really fucking good too

[languid whale]

Idk I remember that 140 meta with the handcannons during arrivals was so fun, everyone was using the iron banner or trials 140 or sturm

2 tap handcannons

Miss it

[green gazelle]

Also I hate prismatic honestly

[languid whale]

We can’t go back now, everyone can mix and match

[green gazelle]

Hammer of SOL peak

[leaden vale]

If you want monsters, people already were figuring out the thing with Empowering Rift and Eriana's Vow back in early Shadowkeep

[lament cave]

Ark has 12 maps on release confirmed. Lmao. Marathon is done

[severe talon]

any of you interested in the OG marathon games, marathon 2 is probably the best one, both gameplay and story-wise.
i played the whole trilogy a couple years ago and it's hard to get into at the start, but can be really fun once you get into it.
and if you don't really wanna play them, which is totally understandable, the story is really good. watch on youtube sometime if u want

[green gazelle]

Durandal is peak

[severe talon]

^ for sure

[leaden vale]

Still a few builds you can't do in Prismatic that you can on Pure subclasses... Stasis for one as a Hunter

[quaint heath]

lightfall > taken king

[languid whale]

Dude I remember That, although during that time I was running a 120 and wishkeeper bow or whatever it’s called and I’d just see people through walls and give them one bow shot and one quick draw handcannon shot that guaranteed a kill

[torpid plover]

It doesn't necessarily mean they'd be good maps, but Marathon is done either way if they don't stop doing what they're doing and start working

[green gazelle]

But also dude like 2 people here have played marathon or hexxen

[leaden vale]

Wishender, is the wallhax bow

Wishkeeper is the newest strand bow that suspended

[languid whale]

A few builds but look at how many more you can run now that actually make gameplay so cheesy

[lament cave]

Did you not play the tech test. Those maps were so immersive

[torpid plover]

I did, however it doesn't mean the other 9 would be as good

[green gazelle]

Hexxen was better than Marathon by a long shot in the 90s

[severe talon]

i was born in 2000, but i love playing boomer shooters. i own hexen on steam but hant gotten around to palying it yet

[lament cave]

True

[languid whale]

I want destiny 3

[green gazelle]

97 and you should it’s way better

[ebon heart]

Hexxen was dope. Totally different genre but Vanquish was dope too

[surreal nova]

You were born when I was in middle school. Wild

[green gazelle]

Fair but it’s still a boomer shooter

[west sky]

80….get off my lawn 💀

[green gazelle]

But Unreal tournament is what we were all playing

[severe talon]

soon ™️

[ebon heart]

Born 78

[surreal nova]

I’m hoping the Turok remake is good

[west sky]

Brother!

[severe talon]

hahaha

[green gazelle]

This is my safe place now theirs so many 2000s babies

[ebon heart]

78 these kids and their broccoli heads 🤣

[leaden vale]

I just squeezed into the 1900... 1999 XD

[green gazelle]

I’m sick of being called unc 😭 😤

[severe talon]

unreal based

i love quake games. my older cousin got me into those

[green gazelle]

Once unreal came out there was nothing else for little bit besides quake

[surreal nova]

Better than daddy, which is what I get…..

[stable sapphire]

I miss Tribes :<

[green gazelle]

Only during lights off time

[severe talon]

BRING BACK TRIBES 😭

[green gazelle]

My kids will call me father

[south geode]

Battle field 1 is 2 bucks on steam rn

[west sky]

Sad that half of you guys perhaps never experienced Tribes 2

[surreal nova]

Lawbreakers was close

[stable sapphire]

I never got enough blue plates, there was never enough time... never enough time...

[leaden vale]

I miss the times where games were made to be entertainment, and not mandatory live service games designed to milk the playerbase of all enjoyment of a game <_<

[torpid plover]

They're going to need a lot more work done in general

[surreal nova]

Sadly died a brutal death

[severe talon]

wasnt that game a total flop

[green gazelle]

People still play that?

[severe talon]

yea lol

[torpid plover]

People still play BF3, so wouldn't be surprised

[west sky]

The game was actually good build and mechanic wise, just no one cared

[surreal nova]

It’s cause the youthz these days just want their Sabrina carpenter tiktok skins skibidi

[ebon heart]

K this will age me completely my first PC.....was a Conmodore VIC 20 that i wrote games on...to casette. 2nd PC....Amiga 500. I predate a lot of PC players that look down on me for being PS console only since 96

[stable sapphire]

I'm excited for new battlefield, I still hop on battlefield 4 from time to time

[languid plume]

BF4 is th best one, i still play it

[south geode]

For 2 bucks I will

[severe talon]

the art style was way too cluttered. and it came out at the worst possible time for a game like it. and cliff certainly didn't do the publicity any favors. i'm sure you've seen the crowbcat video about it

i loved gears of war

[leaden vale]

Respect, not many started that early haha

[mystic gazelle]

give me ur pfp

[ebon heart]

Sniping on that sniper map across the map tho....MINT

[surreal nova]

My first game was Myst on windows 95

[languid plume]

i know BF6 isnt gonna be as good as BF4, it is what it is

[severe talon]

https://steins-gate.fandom.com/wiki/Luka_Urushibara

[surreal nova]

Yeah honestly I was being facetious it failed due to awful marketing and production choices

[west sky]

I think my first PC game Doom

[leaden vale]

While you all are sharing your first games, here's mine and you'll puke... WoW back in 2005 when my mother let me play on her account <_<

Now that the Alpha is over, I can’t wait to see

“Was Marathon Alpha UNDERRATED?”

“Hidden gem you NEVER played”

“Was Marathon Alpha SLEPT ON?”

[leaden vale]

Cursed thing is... I still play to this day, on my own account

[south geode]

Marathon will be free right? It def looks like a free game

[green gazelle]

Fear 3 was the best game ever made though

[west sky]

40 monies

[severe talon]

https://tenor.com/view/rukako-mashiro-s3npai-gif-25055294

[torpid plover]

IGN is gonna be like, this game is what we needed in the extraction shooter space

[mystic gazelle]

yes!!!

[south geode]

Oh word? leaves

[ebon heart]

Was the sniper map in BF4 called Railway? I have every pixel of that map memorized

[green gazelle]

Or fusion frenzy/grabbed by the ghoulish thise games was also peak

[mystic gazelle]

me too!!!

[ancient fern]

Any Klonoa gamers here?

[leaden vale]

Alpha done? Finally, now they can start hype for Open Beta <_<

[mystic gazelle]

closed beta*

[stable sapphire]

If marathon comes out for 40 bucks then I'd be fine with that, the rest of the industry is shifting to 80 USD minimum for AAA stuff, it's kinda brutal

[severe talon]

i know every map in bf4

[wild cave]

This is true

[jagged rivet]

i will use these

[leaden vale]

closed.*

[torpid plover]

Open alpha

[severe talon]

golmud railway, propaganda, and zavod 311 all have railways @ebon heart

[mystic gazelle]

closed release nobody can play

[surreal nova]

I bought Pokemon stadium for $90 in 2000 dollars. Kids these days

[languid plume]

seige of shanghai, golmud railway, all the maps r great, its a real modern war atmosphere with very well refined lighting and colors

[leaden vale]

Gatekept release with mandatory invite for whitelisting >_>

[ebon heart]

Any current or former game devs in here? EA Sports QA 2001 WCW Backstage Assault N64 yes i tested games before the internet was social media and it was glorious

[surreal nova]

On an hours per dollar basis gaming is the cheapest entertainment by far and hasn’t kept up with inflation

[west sky]

FF3/ Chrono Trigger on SNES was 80 🤣

[ebon heart]

It WAS Golmund Railway cant believe i still remembered

[green gazelle]

Daily pay is crack

[stable sapphire]

CAD or USD? Because that was like 110 CAD for my mom LMAO

[surreal nova]

USD. I wish I lived in Canada

[jagged rivet]

only 110 cad for this guys mom?

[green gazelle]

That’s like 4 nickel

[stable sapphire]

When I started to get my own games as a teen the prices were nice at like, 70 CAD for a game

[ebon heart]

Golmund was special for us 50 cal Barret boyz

[leaden vale]

Feel like there's an easy joke to make here, but I'll refrain from making it

[stable sapphire]

waow

[green gazelle]

50 bmg was the only viable sniper in b3 to snipe spawn to spawn

Waiting 3 second for the hitmarker

[surreal nova]

My favorite was going to GameStop and paying $50 for a “new” game that was clearly used

[ornate eagle]

M200 was the greatest invention

[leaden vale]

Local Alibaba*

[green gazelle]

Yeah dude I remember that time truly awesome the like of which they’ve never seen

[ebon heart]

What was the heavy sniper everyone used on Golmund then for cross map bullet zip head shots accounting for massssssive bullet drop...whatever that rifle was, ruled

[green gazelle]

It was an S something

[severe talon]

JNG-90?

[stable sapphire]

I kinda miss the physical stores but yeah they were robbery LMFAO, gamestops these days are just, toy stores that happen to have videogames inside

[ebon heart]

Mighta been!

[surreal nova]

It was GameStop and gameXchange for me and the GameStop had a cute emo girl so

[languid plume]

they need to turn them into arcades with exclusive access stuff and tournaments

[green gazelle]

Nobody noticed he responded to himself

[leaden vale]

Huh, Gamestop for me was in the city so the closest store for me was an old book and comics shop that sometimes sold games. Was great friends with some employees there too (until they went bankrupt <_<)

[languid plume]

does gamestop have game rental service?

[green gazelle]

EB games and GameFly

[surreal nova]

I miss being able to meet people not on the internet in a shared social space dedicated to a hobby

[velvet glade]

We had collapsing buildings in multiplayer in 2013, what happened to all the cool level design

[west sky]

Oh man EB Games

[severe talon]

SRR-61 was the long black one (lol) that you get early on that lots of people used too

[green gazelle]

The chain link on the store really made it feel visceral

[surreal nova]

EB GAMES. What a throwback. I played halo CE in there for the first time

[severe talon]

which is actually the intervention

[leaden vale]

Then we ended up moving close to a rental shop that doubled as a postal office... Maybe that's the reason that Alibaba I went to went bankrupt lol

[high lark]

Why does the game look like Roblox?

[ebon heart]

I did but im baked so wrd

[west sky]

Blame the kids? I dunno

[severe talon]

soft light shader, very few hard shadows

[stable sapphire]

mixture of art direction and unpolished alpha environments, and yeah what foxy said

[languid plume]

it was traded for world scale, higher texture resolutions n paid cosmetics

[leaden vale]

Apparently shadows weren't fully implemented yet, along with lightning in outdoor areas

[severe talon]

if you've noticed, most of the time when it looks robloxy, it's raining or foggy

[vagrant star]

Could someone please tell me how to get the Marathon Discord icon effect?

[severe talon]

yeah it's pretty glaring

[velvet glade]

Yeah huge ass empty maps with rocks and trees in your way, open world era of gaming is so boring....

[severe talon]

hopefully it's poshilsed up on release

[ebon heart]

Time to jump back in with a sponsor kit n desperately try to exfil with gear to sell for more sponsor kits. I feel its better than going in naked knife only

[leaden vale]

You mean the profile picture border? Was an old Discord quest you could do where you watched the Marathon reveal. Don't think you can get it anymore

[surreal nova]

I think some games do open world well (cyberpunk, Witcher 3, BOTW) without destructibility

[green gazelle]

Go to the # roles channel

[austere osprey]

Better hurry. We get booted in 1.5hr I believe

[west sky]

Oh servers are still online?

[austere osprey]

Yup

[lucid geyser]

why did they extend the alpa test if they diindt let most people who signed up in

[west sky]

Why are you here! Go man go!

[leaden vale]

Heresy. The Holy Knife will net you riches beyond your wildest dreams!

[green gazelle]

Detoxing from cannabis is no joke guys I can’t shut up and I’m sweating like a pig in July

[austere osprey]

[languid plume]

goodbye Marathon Alpha, we will never see u again

[ebon heart]

I wish I knew how Discord works i missed the freebie, only learned about what a Twitch drop is last year thru Warframe

[strong yoke]

Are still all servers online, or only european servers?

[severe talon]

ya'll know how this is an extraction shooter, right. escape from tarkov, the og extraction shooter is my main game. it has been for the past 6 years. and this is the first extraction shooter ive seen since that actually peaks my interest. i have hope that it will be a pretty solid game, seeing what i have

[austere osprey]

We are in, peace!

[green gazelle]

I also want to fight every human I see maybe weed is addictive

[leaden vale]

F, now you know so you can be on the lookout for other opportunities

[west sky]

Good luck!

[languid plume]

hope u make it through!

[green gazelle]

I’m fucking struggling dude

[lucid geyser]

wait what its an extraction shooter? holy i didint know

[ebon heart]

Not really detox when you have an endocannab1no1d system and CB1 and CB2 brain receptors but fully understand your point

[west sky]

Guess working a federal job means i never have to worry about the detox

[green gazelle]

I let myself become dependent also you have them in your intestines tooo

you bring your own loot into the match. try to kill other players, get more loot, and get out alive. you lose what you bring with you if you die, and keep what you escape alive with

Joel died but this how ellie in s2 acting 😭 where's the blood thirstiness

[leaden vale]

Unironically, you'd do better if you were Glitch or Locus, as you can rush people down instead of relying on a long CD

[severe talon]

been smoking le weeeed xDDD a really long time. the first week is the hardest

[surreal nova]

One of my friends quit recently too, and she’s telling me each day how much fuller life feels (both in a good way and a bad way). Keep it up

[green gazelle]

Dude I can read the road signs now it’s incredible

[severe talon]

if u get through that, find something to occupy yourself. something you really enjoy

[west sky]

How long is the CD for void anyway?

[severe talon]

you can stop

[green gazelle]

I’ve quit like 2 times I just really really like complaining

[vagrant star]

Thank you for replying. I just found out about it today, so I guess it's too late.....

[leaden vale]

Think it was 63 seconds, or something, from popping it to the next one being available

[severe talon]

we all love complaining ❤️

[leaden vale]

You can get a mini invis from smokes though, so there's that

[ebon heart]

I advocate the numerous medical benefits from scholarly science based examples, its def not all about getting stoned, cann@science has been an established field since the late 40s early 50s w Prof Ralph Meccholeum

[west sky]

Does it do the thing like The Finals where you can go in and out of stealth as long as the skill does not go into cool down? Or the min you break stealth instant 60 sec wait?

[green gazelle]

There is without a doubt people that it helps I was just abusing it to escape reality

[ebon heart]

Respects to your decision

[leaden vale]

There's 2 versions to Void's Invisibility. There's the Tactical that's on that 1m CD that gives you invisibility for 15 seconds, and the one that is the passive trait that grants you this for 3-4 seconds upon exiting a smoke

Entering the smoke enables the invis ofc

[green gazelle]

Everytime I was mad “it’s ok I just need to go smoke and chill out” turns out 10 years of that forms a emotio dependency

[ebon heart]

Theres also the faction upgrade thing that makes smoke happen when you exfil automatically

[leaden vale]

Traxus capstone yeah

[feral dove]

I think Void has a nicotine addiction

[ebon heart]

Smoke grenades can also trigger Voids invisibility.And I think there's a couple of mods that link into it as well

[severe talon]

okay guys i have to go help my 12 iq friend beat radahn in elder ring, have a good day or night o/

[leaden vale]

What you think that Smoke Screen Prime ability is made out of? XD

[green gazelle]

Nictotines healthy I’m sure of it

[split shadow]

I hope Arc raiders buries this game for not giving me an alpha code

It's any type of smoke, that coming from the active Trait divebomb, Prime Smoke Screen ability, Smoke Grenades, and Traxus Exfiltration perk... Even hostile smokes if I remember correctly

[quaint heath]

what is this

[mental mango]

funco land

[torpid plover]

Escape From Tarkov Arena

[proud sedge]

how do i hack a commanders data core?

[green gazelle]

Tarkov arena was fun until people start prefiring walls or knowing exactly where you are

[ebon heart]

#💬general-alpha-discussion is more civil and has been since Apr 23rd this gen chat was bonkers its mellowed out significantly especially now that Arc is over

[wooden cosmos]

Guys let’s fingerpaint!
Gurt: yo 😭 ✌️

[torpid plover]

I'm just holding angles XD

[leaden vale]

Yeah I cry everytime this is linked, as I never got the role the entire alpha test <_<

[kind cairn]

check your mailbox FYI there seems to be some claimable thing

[green gazelle]

Uh huh sure buddy with 2 pcs for walls

[sharp stone]

hard to be a fan with no codes lil bro

[crisp umbra]

my void dying while my team runs away

[west sky]

I give this channel about a week before it mellows out too.

[green gazelle]

I just want you guys to know almost every streamer uses DMA cheats

[proud sedge]

how do i hack a UESC commanders data core?

[torpid plover]

What's DMA

[proud sedge]

what do you mean

[leaden vale]

Think it stands for "Direct Memory Access", but that makes zero sense for online games

[green gazelle]

Direct memory access they use a cheat pc and bypass the cpu on the gaming pc denying all the data the cheat needs to the second pc so when anti cheat checks your gaming rig it’s clean then you use a fuser to overlay the cheat to main pc

[brisk cosmos]

Dilated MPREG Attack

[native gulch]

is alpha over?

[quaint heath]

What are some really good extraction shooters that are easier to get into than Tarkov? And is Tarkov worth getting into?

[green gazelle]

It’s the next big thing besides trigger bots rn

[native gulch]

tarkov is worth getting into, but not easy by anymeans

[winter tulip]

i just want the 3d model of locus helmet man someones gotta have datamined itt or smth

[west sky]

That sounds overly complicated and to much of a hassle. Guess ill never cheat in games 🤣

[torpid plover]

Tarkov is not for everyone, it's only for those who are willing to no life it (I am no lifing it sadly)

[green gazelle]

It’s 250$ of hardware off Walmart now lmao

[quaint heath]

well what are some easier extraction shooters but not too easy

[torpid plover]

Right now, I'd say there's none

[west sky]

Ha! Now even more so! Just get good or quit sheesh.

[unkempt python]

Guys question I’m trying to sign up for access but I can’t because I don’t have a channel is says “no access”

[torpid plover]

Arc raiders seems like i'd be good

[proud sedge]

how do i hack a UESC commanders data core?

[leaden vale]

Only exposure I got of memory editors is stuff like Cheat Engine back in the old days... more recently I used it back when Seamless Coop items needed deleting from a character I accidentally loaded <_< (Elden Ring Seamless Coop, if that wasn't obvious enough)

[quaint heath]

Well are there any extraction shooters better than Tarkov but just as hard*

[torpid plover]

But it's not out yet, and it's 3rd person which is ruining the genre

[torpid plover]

Hunt could be considered better? I haven't really looked into it

[jaunty tapir]

When does the alpha end?

[hallow scroll]

How'd you manage that when the saves are separate?

[green gazelle]

With DMA you can basically bypass the anti cheat because it talks directly from the pceie port to the ram which is where players locations are stored so the anti cheat never picks up a query for data because the cpu never had one the mobo did

[west sky]

A few hours i think

[leaden vale]

I was messing around with the saving stuff to transfer one save file over from regular to Seamless, and somehow managed to do the reverse lol

[green gazelle]

I got really into anti cheat doing network engineering for world or Warcraft

[green gazelle]

Don’t you have to rewrap your files for that

[hallow scroll]

Hunt isn't really an extraction shooter, though. Saying Tarkov and Hunt are similar is like saying Quake and Medal of Honor are similar.

[proud sedge]

how do i hack a UESC commanders data core?

[west sky]

If you are in alpha id ask in the alpha chat

[leaden vale]

Nope, just rename the regular savefile extention to the appropriate one Seamless Coop can read (or you designate on the mod itself). Issues start if you do the reverse, which back a few updates ago meant you needed to remove them with a memory editor like Cheat Engine... Nowadays it seems to remove themselves last I checked with the newest Elden Ring update

[green gazelle]

That’s rewrapping lol people did it all the time myself I cluded to mod Xbox cod zombies

[sharp stone]

ya idk about that

[proud sedge]

dont have that chat

[green gazelle]

Hex editing is booty cheeks

[west sky]

Dang another one bungie forgot. Im not sure many people still chatting here have/had access to the alpha to answer your question.

[green gazelle]

But if you ever wondered why streamers have just insane game sense it because of DMA walls completely stream proof as OBS is on the clean gaming pc

[hallow scroll]

I thought the alpha was already over anyway.

[west sky]

Few more hours it seems

[hallow scroll]

Huh.

[quaint heath]

I know almost 0 about Tarkov but i kinda wanna play it, as for the map, is there any way to know where to find stuff or do i literally have to walk around the whole map a million times

[leaden vale]

Stuff like this is why I feel D2 went down the shitter in PvP... I remember Forsaken being legendary for PvP, same with Gambit, but I also know it was paywalled and I don't think many cheaters wanted to pay 100+ euros just for cheating and getting that account banned every time they were caught <_<

[echo shuttle]

ill dm you a good site to look at tarkov maps. Its best to have on a second monitor when learning tarkov. Helps alot until you know the maps

[hallow scroll]

Tarkov map knowledge is something you can kinda read up on, but is mostly learned, yes.

[green gazelle]

Yup DMA requires manual account bans which as you know game companies are really slow unless your shroud

[hallow scroll]

Hope you have a good sense of direction. You can get a compass pretty early on, but other than that you're pretty much on your own. Know how to read a map....?

[jovial lava]

how to get on the test?

[leaden vale]

Think it's already over

[ancient epoch]

Alpha over or up for rest of today?

[hallow scroll]

That's the neat thing, you don't.

[green gazelle]

Also don’t fucking cheat you’re opening yourself up to malware attacks from Russians and Chinese they put all sorts of nasties in those applications

[ancient epoch]

Ahhh damn

[quaint heath]

can you buy me a 2nd monitor too

[leaden vale]

If it isn't, it got just a few more hours left...

[quaint heath]

future admin in chat

[green gazelle]

You don’t want these nasties screenshots and keyloggers and worms/ zero day hacks

[west sky]

Spoopy

[echo shuttle]

a second monitor doesnt have to have anything fancy. Go on craiglist or some site and get a shitty monitor. As long as the pictureis fine then thats all you need

[leaden vale]

Literally only cheat application I've used was Cheat Engine for very specific use cases... Usually mods going wrong <_<

[green gazelle]

Buddy I have industry knowledge yes I do

[green gazelle]

Cheat engine is safe from their website it’s mainly used for small unity games

[last blade]

no one in the industry calls them "zero day hacks" 🤣

[jovial lava]

тест уже закрыли ?

[leaden vale]

I figured, since it's at least a known program

[jovial lava]

Has the test been closed yet?

[green gazelle]

That’s crazy cause I have my badge from blizzard

[leaden vale]

I've heard the term, it's 100% used, or rather, they get called "Zero day exploits"

[hallow scroll]

I feel like if I had a second monitor I would want a tablet hooked onto an arm attached to the back of my main monitor, just poking out to the side like some Nintendo DS type subscreen type shit.

[robust bridge]

Not necessarily true at all.

[green gazelle]

No I stayed out of the Milk cooler

[torpid plover]

Drop me the maps too, I've been using whatever I could find and it wasn't that good of a quality

[last blade]

yeah 0 days or 0 day exploits.. calling them "zero day hacks" is something an IT guy would say maybe

[magic rose]

Can you still apply for Marathon playtest? I see no alpha-access channel as it said

[green gazelle]

Lemme just info puke instead of using laymen’s term on discord…..

[hallow scroll]

You can probably still apply only to be left in the dust like the other hundreds of thousands of us.

[leaden vale]

The alpha playtest is basically done at this point with maybe a few short hours left if the dregs of playtesters are still going

[hallow scroll]

Personally, I like the top-down 2D topographic style maps.

[torpid plover]

Same

[leaden vale]

I'd read it... But dumbing down terms for the average folk is a smart move, even if it makes said people feel the need to go "well acktually"

[green gazelle]

The stuff you can do with pcs now is insane we almost lost the whole world of pcs a few years ago with hack in Europe

[robust bridge]

Jack what?

[gray bridge]

Yo are the servers down?

[magic rose]

can i apply somewhere?

[last blade]

yeah I guess not, this guy must be dealing with some nasty stuff.. air gap jumping polymorphic malware propogating through zero trust environments etc

[green gazelle]

I’m really excited to talk about my area of expertise I’m sorry 😭

[jaunty tapir]

Do we know if anything is happening after the alpha is done?

[leaden vale]

I actually heard about this... Didn't Mutahar (or however his name is written) talk about it?

[torpid plover]

Yall mind dropping a link or like a specific word to search for to look it up?

[green gazelle]

A lot of YouTubers did think of it like a Bluetooth virus that shut down their systems biggest info loss in all of mankind besides maybe library of Alexandria

[west sky]

Id just wait for an official announcement. The next test is rumored for August.

[leaden vale]

...I was about to link the channel, but it's gone lol

[last blade]

bluesnarfing is the worst

[robust bridge]

And stop lying about cheat developers, decent cheat developers would not put a single harmful line of code into their cheat. Reputation is the only thing keeping the food on their table.

[green gazelle]

I can’t tell if you’re rage baiting or just mad I knew what I was talking about

[green gazelle]

Cheat developers resell guy

[robust bridge]

Indeed is.

[robust bridge]

They sell guys?

[last blade]

don't even get me started on war driving

[hallow scroll]

Better be an open beta. They only had, what, something in to 50k-100k range test this? That ain't shit compared to if this goes mainstream, and you need a damn millions strong bomb squad for multiplayer games.

[west sky]

This Umbrion really likes nasties

[green gazelle]

Theirs like only 2-3 big cheats per game that are given a face lift for every reseller lol stop riding cheaters

[robust bridge]

I hate war driving.

[leaden vale]

They need to get their quick bucks somehow XD

[hallow scroll]

Checks out. 👌

[willow violet]

how accurate this is is the funniest part for me.

[last blade]

right?

[willow violet]

like if people thought someones cheats were a virus theyd definitely be fucked

[green gazelle]

Wait so I’m being memed by people sniffing WiFi’s

[devout oasis]

idk I think you can lie about cheat developers all you want, fuck them

[robust bridge]

Muted for talking about things you have no clue about.

[cold stump]

99% of cheat developers make viruses

[green gazelle]

Muted?

[robust bridge]

It is true, if your reputation is damaged you won't find any work.

[leaden vale]

The info flow for bug fixing and accurate feedback wouldn't work with everyone here helping out, sorry. Worse yet is how the servers aren't being invested in as there's zero profits for this alpha test

[last blade]

tbh I think your brain is filled with 0x90s

[cold stump]

im true yet again

[green gazelle]

Hurhurhur

[west sky]

I actually think those numbers are generous 😂

[green gazelle]

You can tell who cheats by me calling them out lol

[hallow scroll]

Right. But part of the test before going gold is "yo dawg, how much server do we need for it to not all be on fire?"

[robust bridge]

Cheat in what?

[leaden vale]

That's usually the last test done, not one for early beta

[robust bridge]

I Hope the nasties have cereal.

[green gazelle]

I guarantee you you talk to any anti cheat dev and I’m right lmao

I only did network engineering for the largest MMO alive

[hallow scroll]

Ugh, yeah, you're right, they might have a closed beta and then an open beta. 😞

[leaden vale]

I have a small hate for those devs nowadays for trying to install kernel level anti-cheats that clearly don't work... I gave up on Riot for this (not to mention the controversies with loot boxes <_<)

[green folio]

What yall think that are goona be the new runner abilities?

[robust bridge]

Habbo?

[green gazelle]

Kernel was a Lie to harvest data hardware anti cheat is next

[west sky]

Its also a test that so far every company has failed at on launch.

[robust bridge]

You do realise that hardware cheats have been a thing for almost 2 decades right?

Or are you just late to the party?

[green gazelle]

Think of it like in the future to play chest free games you’ll need a hardware card similar to the paid severs on csgo

[last blade]

kernel level is the best chance to stop cheating but people are always going to evade it, no different than EDR products

[leaden vale]

Funny thing... Latest test I've seen that actually succeeded on this was The War Within release for WoW

[green gazelle]

Hardware anti cheat… do you even read

[robust bridge]

Hard to read Spanish

[green gazelle]

Actually racist I’m Spanish

[robust bridge]

Yeah that's why I said Spanish.

[leaden vale]

That's why I hate it, because it's literally the Cold War of gaming, an arms race that the defending side can never win

[robust bridge]

I can tell from how you type that you are Spanish

[green gazelle]

Bros so mad he’s gotta retort racism

[west sky]

Bah but WoW had like 20 years to get it right :p i remember hour queues when it first began.

[robust bridge]

Not sure how being called Spanish is racist but okay!

[green gazelle]

I’m sorry we really tried on launch day

[leaden vale]

The horror... "Position 159994 in queue"

[green gazelle]

You stereotyped me lmao

[west sky]

Flash backs!!!!!

[robust bridge]

How is that racist?

[green gazelle]

I was

[green gazelle]

You said I type like I’m Spanish dude

Racial profiling

[robust bridge]

Yeah your anti virus expired and I wormed into your CPU, hence how I knew you were Spanish.

[last blade]

happy belated cinco de mayo

[west sky]

.<

[green gazelle]

The Dallas office or?

[leaden vale]

If you noticed, there was never confirmation they actually were spanish, just that they observed you though they were spanish <_<

[green gazelle]

No I was in San Antonio

[west sky]

i mean everyone knows Eric

[robust bridge]

Trust me, this pal is Spanish.

[west sky]

Well i might not have been able to play Marathon but at least the chat is entertaining.

[robust bridge]

I miss Eric.

In the good way too..

[warm sigil]

extremely funny convo I can't lie

[restive mango]

Kernel privilege is there to strip handle and a few other tricks to stop cheats but it doesnt need to be kernel. It never did. A good anticheat can still be usermode and defeat most cheats. Its also on the devs to manage serverside AC aswell. This can check for player positions and attack data, malformed packet attacks , a lots of other data to keep a clean enviroment.

[leaden vale]

What's up with NuCaloric being the most active here? I feel alone as a MIDA

[vocal trellis]

Who is this Eric we speak of?

[robust bridge]

That had nothing to do with anything I have said so far, ignored.

[tame hound]

WHY TF DID BUNGIE DROP ANOTHER DLC FOR DESTINY 2 THE STORY IS OVER YOUR NOT GETTING MY MONEY

[robust bridge]

Eric Nasty.

[vocal trellis]

Bro just saving for marathon

[last blade]

usermode can't hook system level APIs, it'll stop basic cheats but will always be way easier to bypass than kernel mode

[tame hound]

nah saving for ARC RAIDERS

[warm sigil]

run the whole os in a ring 0 hypervisor so I can have sub kernel level cheats

[robust bridge]

Saving for every DLC on Session: Skate Sim.

[vocal trellis]

I haven't seen gameplay but I heard it's pretty good

[remote igloo]

how many times left for the alpha to closeÉ

[west sky]

We have cats and candy enlist today!

[leaden vale]

Exactly this... Anti-cheat should be on the server side for online games, because nothing can beat that as far as I know...

[midnight kettle]

280 on marathon what crazy numbers we got here

[calm sorrel]

type shi

[restive mango]

You dont need to protect the EXE as much if you rely on serverside AC to handle the job.

[tame hound]

its more then pretty cool it already beat marathon before full releases of either

[last blade]

for sure, but server side anticheat won't be able to detect client side exploits like wall hacks aimbot etc

[restive mango]

Kernel cant fight against SMM either, So should devs switch to SMM anticheat? We can keep playing into this logic

[robust bridge]

Hence mem viz through another device.

Where them clown girls at?

I need some honky.

[warm sigil]

rule of thumb is you gotta treat the client as potentially hostile/compromised in an online game, anticheat or not

[upper storm]

stop flirting in front of my

[leaden vale]

Wouldn't the information mismatch between client and server trigger all kinds of warning flags?

[modern acorn]

When does the alpha end

[restive mango]

Kernel AC's arent doing a good enough job because the main thing to protect isnt whats being hooked. Match integrity , data integrity , and server watching and analysing data is what should be done. Im not saying all devs should go UM, you need a SMART team to do these things and clearly kernel isnt working.

[warm sigil]

if you have good validation, yes

[stiff mist]

9PM EST

[topaz comet]

Every match some1 has a gold shield lol

[calm sorrel]

its peak tbh it doesnt feel like any other extraction shooter but now i have an emptiness inside me coz its gone 😦

[restive mango]

I wrote my own anticheat for some games. The P2P is more important than people realise.

[stiff mist]

What lobbies are you getting 😭

[robust bridge]

I would love to try that out.

Make one for source engine.

[warm sigil]

did these games have a client/server model or pure p2p?

[restive mango]

It was Dark souls.

[midnight kettle]

O man arc raiders peak player count 21k marathon with a outstanding 6900 peak

[robust bridge]

Never heard of.

[last blade]

don't forget about the TCP/IP stack, it's super important

[topaz comet]

players going crazy on Perimeter

[warm sigil]

dark souls had not very good anticheat hate to say it

[robust bridge]

I have only played Session: Skate Sim for over 8000 hours.

[last blade]

don't even get me started on the OSI model

[spark brook]

when does the open alpha/beta begin?

[last blade]

please do not throw sausage pizza away

[restive mango]

It didnt, Thats why you have to write your own. There were hundreds of crashes / exploits and even RCE.

[warm sigil]

7 layer burrito

[west sky]

August maybe

[leaden vale]

Was this for modded servers? I remember there being a modding scene where people had fun doing custom moves

[warm sigil]

I remember DS1 RCE lol that was hilarious

[green gazelle]

Why did they get so mad with me talking about cheaters it raises some questions for sure

[upper storm]

everyone and their dog got an invite to arc raiders, choom

[west sky]

Totally projecting lol

[restive mango]

Had it for Ds2, that was some of the funniest shit. But could also ruin peoples saves

[green gazelle]

I was baited for sure

But why did they need to bait me

[topaz comet]

i met an enemy runner who didnt try to kill me for the first time today.... they even dropped me some blue guns... then my teammate came up from behind and erased them. i felt bad

[warm sigil]

because baiting is funny I fear

[west sky]

Oh man! Not cool 🤣 💀

[leaden vale]

Must have felt really special at the moment

[green gazelle]

I was just trying to have a convo

[ebon heart]

2 hours left of this alpha

[warm sigil]

we need prox chat for moments like that ngl

[west sky]

Yeah

[last blade]

minecraft log4j takes the cake

[midnight kettle]

I doubt they'll be adding anything to a game that's DOA

[topaz comet]

yeah it lasted about a minute before my teammate clapped him from behind. im glad we dont have prox chat tho. teams of 6 would run around the map going crazy

[leaden vale]

If this is about Arc, I'm predicting this will go the same way Destiny and Warframe went <_<

[upper storm]

this isn't dead or alive this is marathon. i wouldn't mind seeing glitch in a swimsuit tho

[warm sigil]

is it fun being miserable and pessimistic all the time? does it bring you joy?

[green gazelle]

Like bro didn’t have to bring up my nationality

[topaz comet]

she doesnt even have an adam's apple

[upper storm]

...my answer is staying as is

[warm sigil]

good for her

actually, would a runner even be trans. they're 3D printed shells

there's no gender to trans

[last blade]

tru

[upper storm]

i guess technically they're all trans-something

[leaden vale]

Well... Some would argue that point relentlessly

[topaz comet]

runners arent people theyre playthings

[warm sigil]

fittingly dystopian

[paper lotus]

Probably think of them as posthumans

[west sky]

Didnt void even say he was the young girl in the pic? I think gender does not matter in this world

[torpid plover]

Also why is the trailer showing us void holding same picture as glitch? Does that make him a girl?

[leaden vale]

If this is about the trailer cinematic, no. It was Glitch being told that

[warm sigil]

he looted it, iirc

[paper lotus]

He asked if that was him, he’s died so many times he can’t remember. And little boys and girls can be hard to tell apart.

[west sky]

I thought they were both shown the same pic?

[torpid plover]

Yea, but the AI asked him do you recognize this photo or smth

[warm sigil]

bait question from the AI

trying to detect memory leakage perhaps

[torpid plover]

Well clearly it was leaking

[leaden vale]

Yes, but Glitch was the only one being told it was them, the others from what I interpreted were being asked who the girl was

[green gazelle]

Blade runner

[valid stone]

Valgrinding Glitch to find memory leaks brb

[midnight kettle]

Arc raiders discord chat looks like a tarkov discord chat

[warm sigil]

that's what i'm saying. you get it

[torpid plover]

Arc Raiders is locked, tarkov isn't?

[midnight kettle]

Go look fr

[west sky]

Toxic AF?

[torpid plover]

Still open for me

[magic rose]

Hour and a half until alpha wraps up

[torpid plover]

Arc Raiders was wholesome though

[torpid plover]

I enjoyed chatting with people there

[charred belfry]

arc was much more enjoyable than marathon which is disappointing

[midnight kettle]

Hope the 350 players playing marathon rn enjoy the last hour of the hot garbage

[ionic stone]

Loved every second

[west sky]

Im going to enjoy playing both. Arc seems more chill

[torpid plover]

I meant the discord

[charred belfry]

bungie needs to seriously review the issues marathon has lol
